INFORMATION

Our School was founded in 2001. It is the first surf school on Carcavelos beach, Lisbon and just 25 min drive from Lisbon City Center. The school is certified by The Portuguese Surfing Federation and by Turismo de Portugal (The Portuguese Tourism Authority).

The school introduces students to the exciting sports of surfing and bodyboarding, and has developed the teaching on two levels to this end – initiation, as well as technical improvement. We have students of all ages, both male and female, and of all skill levels from beginners through to the more competitive surfers.

The school’s managers/teachers have post-graduate qualifications in surfing from the Faculdade de Motricidade Humana (Sports Sciences Faculty) in Lisbon, and are well-experienced and accredited by the Portuguese Surfing Federation.

Our facilities include an outdoor shower for use after the lesson and a changing area for students, where they can store their belongings safely. We have a wide choice of safe surfboards (soft boards) and the latest wetsuit models.

The school is open every single day of the year, including weekends and bank holidays. Our hours vary according to the weather, tides and other sea-related conditions.
